Introduction: Implicating two new techniques for removal of Foley catheters with non-deflating balloons. Methods: Thirty-two male patients with non-deflating Foley catheters were managed by cutting balloon channel along the length of Foley catheters to bypass the possible obstruction in the lumen of the balloon channel and if failed, we introduced a suprapubic needle towards the tip of the index finger, which was introduced transrectally to palpate the bladder neck and push it up and get the balloon punctured. Results: In 25 of 32 patients the Foley catheters were removed by cutting the balloon channel interruptedly. Seven patients required suprapubic needling to puncture the catheters´ balloons for catheter removal. Conclusions: These outpatient techniques are safe, simple, effective, and less invasive. They can be used simply in all patients without the need for special instruments or equipment. |
